There are 52 army barracks in Nigeria, serving as homes for soldiers and their families. These barracks are required for the Nigerian Army, which is responsible for land defense. And, the largest barrack is Dodan Barracks in Lagos, historically as a military headquarters.

However, many barracks face challenges like poor maintenance and lack of essential services such as water and electricity. Soldiers often struggle with inadequate living conditions, leaving some to seek housing outside the barracks.
